Frequently Asked Questions

My approach honors the whole woman — body, mind, and spirit — through an integration of Ayurveda, nervous system balance, and evidence-informed care. Rather than focusing only on conception, we cultivate deep reproductive health, emotional resilience, and hormonal alignment, helping your body remember its natural rhythm and capacity to conceive.

I work with a range of fertility-related imbalances including hormonal irregularities, cycle disruptions, thyroid conditions, PCOS, endometriosis, structural challenges, and other reproductive or metabolic issues. Care also includes restoring digestive strength and addressing inflammation, since Ayurveda understands fertility as the flowering of whole-body health, beginning in the gut and culminating in reproductive vitality.

Fertility is as much an emotional and spiritual journey as a physical one. Through intentional coaching, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and compassionate dialogue, we help you release tension, restore a sense of safety in the body, and create space for conception to unfold more naturally and gently.

Tracking your cycle can be helpful but it doesn’t have to be perfect. We use your body’s natural cues — along with Ayurvedic insights — to understand hormonal rhythms, fertility windows, and deeper patterns, while also paying attention to energy, mood, and sleep.

Yes. This approach often works in tandem with IUI, IVF, or medicated cycles by strengthening your body’s foundation — digestion, hormone balance, and emotional stability — so you can better tolerate treatment and support recovery in between cycles.

Programs are individualized, but many span three to four months or longer. This allows time for your body to move through full reproductive cycles, integrate changes, and begin restoring balance at a cellular and hormonal level.

A consult provides clarity, direction, and focused next steps. A course offers structured self-study and foundational tools. A full program provides full-spectrum support — continuous guidance, personalized protocols, and ongoing connection designed for deeper transformation. We’ll determine the best fit during your Clarity Call.

Absolutely. Ayurveda and integrative fertility care complement ART beautifully. We tailor your plan around monitoring, medication timelines, and retrieval or transfer dates, supporting your body to stay nourished, calm, and optimally prepared at every stage.

I provide birth and perinatal health support as part of comprehensive programs — because birth is not a single moment, but a process of preparation, transformation, and integration. Through the Birth Concierge Journey and Postpartum Healing Pathway, I offer clinical and holistic guidance throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. While I don’t offer stand-alone doula services, my care includes prenatal preparation, labor attendance, and early postpartum follow-up within the context of continuous support.

Yes — when applied by a qualified practitioner, Ayurvedic care is both safe and profoundly supportive during pregnancy and postpartum. Each recommendation — whether food, herb, or lifestyle — is tailored to your constitution, trimester, and stage of recovery, and is always offered in alignment with your medical provider’s guidance.

Absolutely. My work complements — never replaces — conventional medical care. I collaborate with your birth and postpartum team when appropriate, helping you receive the best of both worlds: individualized holistic support and the clinical oversight your body deserves.

You can begin at any stage, though earlier support allows us to prepare your body and mind for a smoother pregnancy and postpartum experience. Many clients start in early pregnancy for preventive care and continue through the first 40 days after birth for full recovery support. If you are already postpartum, it is never too late to begin care.

Common focus areas include morning sickness, digestive imbalance, thyroid or adrenal concerns, blood sugar issues, cholestasis, sleep disruption, anxiety, fatigue, blood pressure changes, postpartum mood shifts, breastfeeding support, and energy restoration. We work to address both symptoms and the underlying depletion or imbalance driving them.

Pregnancy and early motherhood can stir deep emotional and energetic shifts. Ayurveda views these transitions as sacred thresholds, when the nervous system and sense of self are especially sensitive. Through breath, nourishment, nervous system alignment, and compassionate conversation, we support you in feeling steady, confident, and connected as you move through change.

My approach integrates Ayurveda, nervous system regulation, and modern birth strategy, creating care that supports your body, emotions, and spirit as one unified system. This is not just prenatal support — it’s a framework for grounded strength, embodied confidence, and sacred preparation for birth and motherhood.

I help women address both everyday discomforts and more complex complications that can arise during pregnancy — such as digestive changes, swelling, fatigue, sleep issues, blood sugar or blood pressure fluctuations, thyroid imbalance, hyperemesis, cholestasis, and other pregnancy-related concerns. Care is tailored to your constitution, trimester, and physiology.

Emotional health is central to this work. Through intentional coaching, nervous system practices, and mindfulness-based tools, I help you cultivate resilience, calm, and trust in your body’s innate intelligence — nurturing both emotional steadiness and a deeper sense of presence throughout your pregnancy journey.

Yes. My care is designed to complement and enhance medical prenatal support. I collaborate with healthcare providers when needed to ensure recommendations are safe and cohesive, bridging traditional wisdom with evidence-informed care.

All new clients begin with a Clarity Call, a short conversation to understand your needs, goals, and timing. This step ensures that my approach aligns with the type of support you’re seeking. Once we decide to work together, you’ll receive a customized intake form and preparation details before your first session or program begins.

You can begin care at any stage — whether you’ve just learned you’re pregnant or are preparing for birth. Many clients start early in pregnancy for preventive guidance, while others join in the second or third trimester to focus on birth preparation and postpartum transition. There is no “too early” or “too late.”

Pregnancy care is offered primarily virtually, allowing you to receive personalized, continuous support wherever you are. The Birth Concierge Journey is a hybrid model with both virtual sessions and in-person visits when appropriate, plus touchpoints between appointments for a high-touch, connected experience.

I am a certified provider with an EIN and NPI, and I am Carrot-approved for pregnancy, birth, and pregnancy loss support. I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill you may submit for reimbursement depending on your plan. Many HSA and FSA cards can be used for consultations and programs. Coverage through Carrot or Kaiser varies by employer and plan, and typically only portions of package fees are reimbursed.

My approach integrates Ayurvedic healing, nervous system regulation, and modern insight to support your recovery on every level — physical, emotional, and energetic. Care may address breast and pelvic healing, digestion, sleep, energy, hormonal and thyroid balance, and lactation challenges, always personalized to your stage of postpartum.

The duration of care depends entirely on your needs. Some mothers find clarity and relief in a single session, while others benefit from ongoing guidance over several weeks or months. The Postpartum Healing Pathway offers structured, evolving support that meets you where you are as you heal.

Yes. My postpartum care is designed to complement your OB, midwife, pelvic floor therapist, lactation consultant, or mental health provider. This integrative model allows for cohesive, safe healing that respects both traditional and modern perspectives.

The postpartum season is as transformative emotionally as it is physical. Through gentle Ayurvedic grounding practices, restorative rituals, nourishment guidance, and mindful conversation, I help you reconnect with your body and inner rhythm, creating a foundation of steadiness and self-trust as you grow into motherhood.

The Wellness Pathway brings together consultation-based and coaching services that nurture clarity, rhythm, and whole-person balance. This may include holistic care consults, Ayurvedic wellness analysis, Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology) coaching, and multi-session journeys that blend Ayurveda, nervous system practices, and intentional coaching for long-term transformation.

Clients often describe these sessions as clarifying, balancing, and deeply restorative. Physically, you may notice improvements in digestion, energy, sleep, hormonal balance, and menstrual rhythm. Emotionally, many experience greater clarity, calm, and confidence, along with a sense of alignment and ease in daily life.

Sessions are virtual and personalized. We begin with a brief intake to understand your goals and rhythms, then explore patterns in digestion, energy, emotions, and environment that influence your wellbeing. For Jyotiṣa sessions, we work with your birth chart to understand cycles, strengths, and supportive timing for growth and healing.

The Wellness Pathway is for you if you’re seeking integrative support for stress, transition, or emotional stagnation and want guidance that unites Ayurvedic wisdom, emotional repatterning, and nervous system awareness — whether or not you’re in a motherhood season.

Each session is a consent-led, trauma-informed experience that begins with grounding and intention setting. You may receive a personalized blend of Ayurvedic bodywork, womb and pelvic therapy, breast and lymphatic massage, marma point activation, and sound or energy alignment, all tailored to your body and nervous system.

Yes. All treatments are adapted to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery. We avoid deep abdominal work in early pregnancy and introduce abdominal or scar-related work only when your body is ready or after your provider’s clearance for surgical births. You are always encouraged to trust your own sense of readiness.

Sessions may include womb and pelvic healing, therapeutic breast and lymphatic massage, Abhyanga-style Ayurvedic oil massage, marma therapy, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, sound work, and Safe & Sound Protocol integration. Each session is customized to support circulation, flow, nervous system regulation, and emotional release.

You may be ready if you feel called to slow down, tune in, or release stored tension and patterns in your body. Readiness doesn’t mean having everything figured out — it simply means you’re open to support and change and feel curious about what deeper healing might offer.

All new clients begin with a Clarity Call, scheduled through the booking link on my website. Once we connect and determine the best next step, you’ll receive access to your intake form and preparation details before your first session or program begins.

Because appointments are reserved just for you, I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Your initial Clarity Call is complimentary, but late cancellations or missed calls may require a nominal fee to rebook. For paid sessions, cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed sessions may be subject to a full session fee.

I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill you may submit for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan. Many HSA and FSA cards can be used for consultations and programs; please confirm details with your provider. Certain employer-based benefits, such as Carrot, may also cover portions of care.

After booking, you’ll receive an intake form to complete in advance. I encourage you to arrive rested, hydrated, and open to conversation. Your first visit focuses on listening to your story, mapping patterns, and creating an aligned, sustainable plan together.

Most consultations and programs are held virtually so you can receive care from home. In-person sessions are reserved for bodywork therapies and specific program elements that require direct touch. Whether virtual or in person, each session is intentional, personalized, and designed to support you deeply.

Depending on your program, you may have access to secure messaging or portal communication for brief questions, adjustments, or check-ins. This ensures you feel held between sessions. For more in-depth needs, we’ll schedule a dedicated follow-up visit.
